I love tamas. I own a tama and digimon. This person does not speak for me.
Damnit i want to not be a mod so I can say something snarky.
Real legit question coming from actual ignorance and a desire to learn. Is tamagochi ownership likely gonna be tied to commodity fetishism and poshness, or is it a poorer person hobby? I completely missed this cultural fad when it happened.
Commodity fetishism is more about the M-C-M+ relationship than anything else.
As in, the existence of a money system that uses commodity as an intermediate for profit extraction from labor creates a fetishization of commodity since it represents the stolen surplus value of the workers. That relationship can't exist in C-M-C where the money serves only as an intermediate for commodity exchange and it definitely can't exist in C-C relationships where the monetary intermediate is gone due to planning.
